Effect of Surface Coating and Plasma Treatment on Mechanical Properties of Wood Plastic Composites
Mechanical properties of plasma-irradiated and surface-coated wood plastic composites (WPCs) have been investigated in this paper. WPCs were developed by injection molding technique using wood fiber (WF) as reinforcement and polypropylene (PP) as matrix.
